    I'm more of a realist than an optimist.

    [Great stuff here]

    Awesome entry! This is going to be a tough vote.

    Well, I knew I'd lost ages ago, but I still intend on entering! If nothing else, it's fun to have a project. :)

    I finally had the time to complete my entry today! Presenting: Matchstick Trogdor! Yeah, not brilliant, but it sure took a lot longer to make than I thought. After cutting all those matches (and watching the match heads ping off to some unreachable area in my room) I'm suprised I didn't give myself a splinter.

    It seems a bit ironic that we're making Trogdor out of wood. He'd probably end up burning himself. Perhaps my entry should have been a pile of ashes and said it was Trogdor after burnination.

    Wow, that's cool! Funny how you said:

    You think you're screwed? I still think you're going to win first! Yours is simple but awesome. Plus Alan liked it.

    Thanks Mathman for the encouragement. I hope you go well too.

    You remember the last time someone set a wood effigy on fire for a Telltale contest? They won an award under the condition no one else was allowed to do that. The fact that this became a rule in and of itself is hilarious.

    Dammit there's at least three entries now I want to vote for. This is gonna be one tough contest.

    I scrapped the origami project in favor of something more awesome... but my only problem is that I ended up making TWO things- a Trogdor pencil topper that grips the pencil with his beefy arm, and a small sculpture of Strong Bad standing valiantly squashing his boot into the head of a defeated Trogdor.

    Which one should I paint to enter into the contest?

    I would like to BUY the first one.
  • edited January 2011
    Well, the second's half-done, and I suppose I can take a photo of the first anyway to show you attractive peoples.
  • edited January 2011
    Re-entry! Or rather, updated entry.
    HERE.

    Man, this is turning out to be a tough contest. I wanna see that Strong Bad sculpture of yours, divisionten.

    EDIT: The first time I linked I don't think it worked, but when I fixed the link the voting had already begun, so think of this as a companion piece.

    I present to you: a wooden statue of Strong Bad posing in victory over a slain Trogdor.

    Granted, this wasn't actually made out of wood, but out of Model Magic (rather, "Softy", which is the Japanese equivalent)

    attachment.php?attachmentid=2293&stc=1&d=1295505621

    Then I painted the whole thing to look like somewhat rotting wood with acrylics (some detail with a black Prismacolor).

    attachment.php?attachmentid=2294&stc=1&d=1295505627

    Then I added in bits of color so it looks like an old and weathered whittled figure. It's thinned acrylic, so you can see that there's "wood" underneath. I left some parts unpainted to make it look like the paint had come off in spots.

    attachment.php?attachmentid=2295&stc=1&d=1295505634

    And some shots from other angles. Trogdor's tongue is sticking out, and his poor beefy arm lays flat in defeat over a wing.

    attachment.php?attachmentid=2297&stc=1&d=1295505649

    Yes, SB, we know you are awesome.

    attachment.php?attachmentid=2298&stc=1&d=1295505655

    Your V's ain't so consummate anymore, now, are they?

    picture.php?albumid=346&pictureid=2330

    Unfortunately, due to the ravages of time (or, more likely, bandits who want to pawn off shiny stuff), the epic Trogsword has become lost to us all.

    Nice detail there on the wings and the beefy arm!

    Based on the entries I've seen, there's probably no point in entering this, but oh well.

    Only allowed to pick one! That was a seriously hard decision, but I have now cast my vote!

    EDIT: I'd also like to point out I did not vote for myself. I figured that would be cheating and unfair.
